Sony releases the Xperia SP

Sony has just released the latest addition to its already impressive Xperia lineup of phones, the Xperia SP. The SP brings eye-wateringly-fast LTE connectivity, Sony’s trademark viewing experience and and razor-sharp HD screen, all housed in a beautifully designed shell.

The SP brings only the best Sony has to offer. The SP features a 4.6 inch touchscreen at a crisp resolution of 319 ppi, protected Corning Gorilla Glass, and enhanced with Sony’s Bravia 2 Engine, which gives you gorgeous HD video wherever you may find yourself. Shutterbugs will appreciate the SP’s 8 MP autofocus camera, backed by a long history of Sony imaging technology, and NFC connectivity for quick, painless image and file sharing.

The SP runs a dual-core 1.7 GHz Krait processor with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal memory, and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, so it wont leave even hardcore users wanting for more.

“The Xperia SP’s premium design, aluminium frame, screen size and illumination all come together in a high-quality device that only Sony’s proven innovation and engineering expertise can deliver,” explains President and Managing Director Yasushi Asaoka. “The Xperia SPshoots razor-sharp images and vibrant colours in any type of light, thanks to its 8 MP camera with High-Dynamic Range (HDR) and Exmor RS. This phone is perfect for the technology-savvy and those who are unwilling to compromise function or style in their smartphones.”

WHAT’S INSIDE

There’s barely two months left to get your holiday gifts in order. With the rush of the season—including deadline buzzer beaters for company shutdowns, more vehicle standstills, greater mall foot traffic, and fleeting daylight—it can be daunting to decide what to give you and yours. Don’t worry. As always, we’ve got your back with our November Holiday Wishlist issue.

We’ve got the scene’s latest toys in our Parade and Wishlist section, all sure to put a smile on the faces of techies and non-techies alike. If you’re looking for something that’s been under the microscope, hop on over to the GadgetsLab and see whether we’d recommend the the Intel Core i5-6600, Adata Premier SP550, HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 3776, Lenovo Yoga Book, Philips 246E7, and LG V20 as sock stuffers. If you’re feeling a bit more generous with your gifts, we also reviewed the Honda City 1.5 E CVT Limited Edition and 2015 Yamaha Bolt in our Mobility pages.

But maybe you don’t want to give physical things. Maybe you believe in experiences. Then check out our coverage of Lyon, France; the Azar video chat app; Deus Ex: Mankind Divided; Gears of War 4; The Ransom Collective musicians; and the Sandaya Yakiniku and Guevarra’s restaurants; just to name a few.

And to help sizzle the cold year end breeze, we’ve got the comeback king, Motorola, in our pages, accompanied by the dynamic duo of James Reid and Nadine Lustre. With all the above and more, this is definitely the season to be jolly.
